The information in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company plans to present non-clinical data for OP-3136, the Company's development candidate targeting KAT6, at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics (“ENA”), which will be held October 23-25, 2024. An initial new drug (“IND”) application for OP-3136 is anticipated to be submitted in the fourth quarter of 2024 and the Phase 1/2 clinical study for OP-3136 is anticipated to begin in 2025.

 

The Company is also planning for a potential initiation of OPERA-02, a proposed Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, ribociclib, in 2025.

Forward-looking statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this presentation that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, though not all forward-looking statements necessarily contain these identifying words. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our research and clinical development plans, the scope, progress, results and costs of developing our product candidates or any other future product candidates, strategy, market size and opportunity, clinical trial designs, regulatory matters, including the timing and likelihood of success of obtaining drug approvals, the timelines for potential clinical study results and clinical trials of palazestrant (OP-1250) as a monotherapy and in combination trials, including OPERA-01, the Company’s pivotal Phase 3 monotherapy clinical trial, and OPERA-02, the Company's potential pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of palazestrant in combination with ribociclib, the timelines for potential commercial launch and related preparatory work, the sufficiency and potential beneficial characteristics,  profile, safety, tolerability, efficacy and therapeutic effects of palazestrant as a monotherapy and in combination trials, the potential of palazestrant to become a therapeutic leader and a best-in-class treatment option for ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer and a backbone therapy for women living with breast cancer and beyond, the combinability of palazestrant with other drugs, the timelines for potential preclinical studies and clinical trials for our KAT6 inhibitor program, including OP-3136, the potential value and impact of a KAT6 inhibitor program, the best-in-class potential for OP-3136, the potential beneficial characteristics, profile, safety, efficacy, tolerability, and therapeutic effects of OP-3136, our ability to complete certain milestones, our financial condition, our opportunity in breast cancer and beyond, our ability to impact treatment for endocrine-driven cancers, cash position and runway and sufficiency of our financial resources, and the sufficiency and expertise of our management team. These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company. Such statements reflect the current views of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to known and unknown risks, including business, regulatory, economic and competitive risks, uncertainties, contingencies and assumptions about the Company, including, without limitation, risks inherent in developing products and technologies, future results from the Company’s ongoing and planned clinical trials, the Company’s ability to obtain adequate financing to fund its planned clinical trials and other expenses, trends in the industry, the legal and regulatory framework for the industry and future expenditures, and other risks and uncertainties affecting the Company, including those described under the caption "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company‘s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Report on Form 10-K, and other filings and reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the events or circumstances referred to in the forward-looking statements may not occur. The actual results may vary from the anticipated results and the variations may be material. These forward-looking statements should not be taken as forecasts or promises nor should they be taken as implying any indication, assurance or guarantee that the assumptions on which such forward-looking statements have been made are correct or exhaustive or, in the case of the assumptions, fully stated in this presentation. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date this presentation is given. This presentation discusses product candidates that are under clinical study and which have not yet been approved for marketing by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. No representation is made as to the safety or effectiveness of these product candidates for the use for which such product candidates are being studied. This presentation incorporates publicly-available third-party data that we have not independently verified. There are risks inherent in conducting cross-trial comparisons and the results should be interpreted with caution. The presentation of such third-party data does not represent a head-to-head comparison of how palazestrant, in monotherapy or in combination, or OP-3136 performed against any other third-party drug candidate or study. Rather, such third-party data has been pulled by us from publicly-available sources for supplemental informational purposes, only. We caution you that any comparisons against third-party data set forth herein should not be viewed as a side-by-side comparison, and you should not rely on the completeness or accuracy of our presentation of the results of any third-party drug candidate in these slides, due to differences in study design, how other companies quantify or qualify eligibility criteria, and how results are recorded, among other distinguishing factors and uncertainties. Because we may be unaware of or may not adequately present various distinguishing factors and uncertainties, the comparisons set forth herein may not properly present such third-party data, which may differ materially from the data as presented here. Investors are encouraged to independently review third party data and should not rely on our presentation of such data (including any such data placed in comparison with the performance of palazestrant) as a single measure to evaluate our business.

— “Patients with metastatic breast cancer urgently await therapeutic advances that can be used effectively either as monotherapies or in combination with today’s standard of care to not only extend survival rates, but also deliver a better quality of life. With the body of evidence to date and our continued experience in clinical studies, palazestrant has strong potential to deliver on these persistent unmet needs.” Nancy Lin, M.D. Associate Chief, Division of Breast Oncology Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

— KAT6 Inhibitor (OP-3136)


Slide 24

OP-3136: Olema’s KAT6 inhibitor* An exciting new and validated target for ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer Highly potent and selective against KAT6A/B Orally bioavailable with high levels of free drug exposure OP-3136 synergizes with palazestrant and CDK4/6 inhibitors in preclinical models New data to be presented at the ENA ("Triple") meeting in October 2024 IND filing expected in Q4 2024 *discovered in collaboration with Aurigene KAT6i = lysine acetyltransferase 6 inhibitor
